到中国城买的袋装薏米 打开后有股哈味, 很不新鲜, (根据包装, 在保质期内),
到老外店买的PEARL　ＢＡＲＬＥＹ　好象不是薏米 ，　大家都在哪买的新鲜薏米 ？

Believe there are 3 sizes for Barley, Pearl Barley is the smallest.  I don`t know which size is the Chinese 薏米.  They are available everywhere:
- supermarkets, all of them
- PA
- Zellars
- etc.

我在中国店买的放了2个月生了好多小米虫，不知道是买的时候不新鲜还是我放的时间长了

I always have barley, longest time 放~6-12个月, never have problem with小米虫.  Should be 买的时候'~不新鲜还' or from China :confused:.  

I normally mine from PA/Zellars/ . . . . . =wherever is sales, buy from Portugese store on St. Laurent when no sales.
